summary

My best friend has been married for several years and has been preparing for pregnancy. Now she is finally pregnant. However, when her friend was 34 weeks pregnant, she found hydrocephalus in her baby's head. When she came back, she was very afraid and complained to me all the time. I felt very sad. Now let's talk about whether baby hydrocephalus can be cured.

Can darling hydrocephalus cure

First, it is divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. General mild hydrocephalus should first try non-surgical treatment, mainly dehydration therapy and systemic support therapy. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with high intraventricular pressure (more than 250 mm water column) or failure of non-surgical treatment.

Second: mild hydrocephalus can be relieved by the treatment of dehydrating agent and diuretic. The patients with obvious enlargement of head and thickness of cerebral cortex more than 1cm can be treated by operation. However, for severe hydrocephalus, the patients with low intelligence, blindness, paralysis and obvious atrophy of brain parenchyma and thickness of cerebral cortex less than 1cm are not suitable for operation.

Third, the development of brain tissue continues to develop rapidly after birth. The weight of brain tissue was 350 g at birth and 900 g at 1 year old. The growth rate of weight slowed down after 1 year old, and the weight of adult brain was 1. 5kg。 Therefore, when hydrocephalus is found in children, the operation should be performed as soon as possible, and the movement and intelligence of some patients after operation are expected to reach the normal level.

matters needing attention

Infantile hydrocephalus, if it can be treated timely and correctly, has no effect on the intellectual and physical development, but if it is not treated timely or improperly, it will affect the intellectual and physical development of children, or even disabled or premature death.
